Financial Sackles

There... as of today i quit my job as video retail sales assistant, looking for a better job worth of my talents. Come to think of it none of those jobs which i worked really need this talent of mine.. or am i just been picky...

Anyway, this past half a year, financially, the worst of the 24 years of my life. Jobless for a few months, with bills and such kept piling up and even hardly can pay the house rental all those months. I even had have to borrow money from my working brother to pay the bills of my half and for my everyday use ( food and such) .

Even worst I feel like I been working to pay off those piled up bills and my bro's money. Well, all those due to some unwise decisions i made the since the end of last year. Now end up owning a lot of people's money *cry* Streamyx bill, rental, electric and water bill, ex housemate deposit.... i going crazy here @.@

Oh what the heck, better go solve it or die trying.

A Typical Day in May

Uh... the alarm rang. I opened my eyes and look at the time- 8.30am. Ah.. wished i can sleep a little more, having a nice dream just now. Another working morning .. why it is not noon today....

I prepared myself, have a quick bite and hit the road by 9 am, heading to a supermarket at the other side of the area. And 1/2 hour later... i opened up the Speedy store's shutters and get everything ready for the day... Aih, my other co-worker was late again.. hoped he arrive soon. Sigh, need to do daily clean wiping the videos again..

1.30 pm. Wait almost forever for the time. Almost bored to death... not much to do anyway. Just stand and watch the customers which were hardly any at the time. As soon as my 2nd co-worker arrived, i off to lunch. Finally. Better quickly buy something to read while eat.. i only got 40 minutes.

Try to help around when new stocks arrived, putting in security sensors, repacked and such.. better than nothing to do. Sigh, not much help i can do, my co-workers can get the job done much faster. My supervisor rather have me to watch for customers so nothing get stolen. Damn, felt sleepy already...

Another break on 5pm and there i went for a quick bite while read in the nearby food court. By then the number of customers have increased. Uh, a bunch of kids just came in.. better watch them carefully- they can be rather quick in the hand. Some even worst, bringing ice creams and let them drips on the VCDs.. Argh, gonna clean those later.

Night time. I make myself useful managing the counter. Everything is computerized- scan it, type in the cash recieved, and gave back the balance accordingly. Kaching! Uh.. another credit card payment for a little stuffs there... Buy more la uncle.. heh.

Yeah, 10.15 pm.. better get ready to close the shop. Did a quick DVDs stock counting, putting away those ad-board cut outs and setting out the shutter doors steel beams. 15 minutes later, everything closed and shut. Time to head home. But before that, have a late dinner at a nearby mamak.. Sigh, no friends to accompany me tonight.

Have a bath, read a bit and depend on the shift tomorrow, watch a movie. Ah, good. Noon time tomorrow- digital draw a bit in the pc, heh. Need to brush up my skills there.

2.24 am. Set the alarm and turned off the lights. And hoped to continue the previous dream :D

What Age Do I Act?

Found a little something interesting on a friend's blog :D

You Are 22 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
